Manoir de Verdigné stands in Avesnes-en-Saosnois (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Near Avesnes-en-Saosnois, in the Sarthe department, the Verdigné manor stands at the end of a walk across open fields, set apart from any village. Built at the very end of the 16th century for Yves Tragin, lord of Plessis d'Avesnes, it combines the look of a pleasure residence with that of a stronghold, its corner pavilions bastioned and pierced for cannon fire, its moats still visible today. The staircase set into the facade and the inner courtyard lined by three buildings recall the architectural principles of Philibert de l'Orme.
